Rogaine however, is actually a drug, containing the blood pressure medication Minoxidil.
HairGenesis™ is safer, more effective and costs less than Rogaine™. Plus there are no known side effects.

FDA Facts About the Known Potential Negative Side Effects of Using the Blood Pressure Medication Minoxidil (as used in Rogaine / Rogain) to Treat Hair Loss

Minoxidil Side Effects According to the FDA

  • rapid heart beat

  • chest pain

  • faintness (light-headedness)

  • dizziness

  • sudden unexplained weight gain

  • water retention

  • swelling in the hands or feet

  • scalp irritation or redness

  • unwanted facial hair growth (especially in women)

Minoxidil is actually a blood pressure medication, known as a Vasodilator. It dilates blood vessels to treat high blood pressure. When applied topically to the scalp, it is still absorbed into the bloodstream and may affect an otherwise healthy individual who does not have high blood pressure and therefore has no need for such medication. Furthermore, it should not be used by people with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications.



Does Rogaine™ For Men and Rogaine™ for Women
Stop Thinning Hair and HairLoss? How Does Rogain Work?

 Rogaine™ Minoxidil (For Men) Rogain Minoxidil (for Women)

Rogaine™ relies on the blood pressure drug Minoxidil in its topical solution.

How does Rogaine™ work? Although no side by side studies have yet been undertaken, some facts can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty. For instance, although researchers do not know for sure exactly how Minoxidil works in treating hair loss, it is generally understood that it operates in a fashion unlike that of commonly used DHT blocking ingredients. As such, it is generally accepted among researchers that it does not stop the synthesis (creation) of more harmful DHT in the body, nor does it block DHT which already exists in the body from getting into the scalp and hair follicles.

Minoxidil was originally developed as a blood pressure medication. When it is applied to the scalp topically, it may have the effect of dilating blood vessels in the scalp. Although clinical research has not yet shown exactly what effect this blood vessel dilation has, it could result in helping to sustain hair follicles which have been weakened by DHT. The problem is that meanwhile, the harmful DHT is still being produced in the body and is also still getting into the scalp and hair follicles and causing the hair in those susceptible hair follicles to become thinner and shorter throughout their growing cycles.

 Does Minoxidil work on the Front Receding Hair Line?

The makers of Rogaine™ have indicated on their web site (www.rogaine.com) that Minoxidil is formulated to work only on the top/crown portion of the scalp, the area that doctors call the VERTEX. Accordingly, they state that it is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline.

The FDA states the same thing: Use of Minoxidil 5% solution is "to regrow hair on the top of the scalp (vertex only, see pictures on side of carton)." Additionally the FDA states "Minoxidil 5% solution is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline." To verify this information, read this Drug Facts Label data sheet published by the FDA about Minoxidil.

Hair Genesis™
helps both men and women to strengthen and revitalize their hair and to regrow hair on all areas of the scalp: not only the top - crown area, but also the front receding hairline area and the back area (where Minoxidil-products such as Rogaine™, generic Minoxidil, Avacor™, Hair Advantage™ and others do not work effectively or at all.)

Hair Genesis™
is the only Non-Drug hair growth / hairloss treatment remedy with proven results backed by independent, peer-reviewed, published FDA-Regulated research.



 What is the Long Term Success Rate Using Minoxidil for Hairloss or Hair Growth?

Clinical studies by the makers of Rogaine™ (the first hair growth treatment to use the drug Minoxidil) have shown that only about 1 out of 4 men and about 1 out of 5 women will experience re-growth of their hair, and then it is only very moderate regrowth. And those that do see such limited growth, must continue to use the Minoxidil product on-going, or their hair will fall back out again within three to four months after stopping usage of it.

According to the FDA Drug Facts Guidance for Industry (scroll down to page 2 - Other Information), the accepted percentages of success in hair re-growth in using Minoxidil, based on clinical studies is:
- 26% of the men reported moderate to dense re-growth and 33% had minimal re-growth; this was after four months of use.
- 19% of the women reported only moderate re-growth and 40% had minimal re-growth; this was after eight months of use.

 Minoxidil must be used twice a day, every day, continuously

According to clinical studies by Rogaine™, Minoxidil must be used twice a day, every day, continuously. It works better on those who are younger and whose hair loss is recent, according to clinical studies by Pharmacia and Upjohn.

Moreover, clinical studies on Minoxidil also show that if you ever stop using it, your hair will soon fall out again (often within 3 to 4 months or even sooner) and you will look as if you had never used it. (click on the "fall out" link above and scroll down to "How long do I have to use Women's Rogaine?")

A potential Rogaine™ user contacted rogaine.com web site by email. This is the actual reply to the customer's question about the necessity of continuing to use Minoxidil (for the rest of one's life):

"Continued use of all Rogaine™ (Minoxidil) formulas is needed to maintain hair regrowth. If you stop using Rogaine™ (Minoxidil), the normal hair loss process will start again. You will probably lose your newly regrown hair within 3 to 4 months and will look the way you would have looked if you had never used Rogaine™. Just remember your results and success depends on proper application of Rogaine twice a day, every day, directly to the scalp."



 Rogaine™ For Women Only 2% Minoxidil Solution

Minoxidil solutions greater than 2% are not made available for women as using such a product can produce unwanted facial hairs to grow.



 Minoxidil (as used in Rogaine™) is not formulated to work on the Front Receding
 hair line or Back area of the scalp. Hair Genesis™ works on ALL AREAS of the scalp.

Compare Hair Advantage™, which relies on Minoxidil, with natural Hair Genesis™. Learn why Minoxidil is generally ineffective long term in treating hair loss and thus may not stop your hairloss or help to regrow hair on the Front Receding Hair Line area or in the back area of the scalp.

On the other hand, Hair Genesis™, uses Beta Sitosterol and other clinically demonstrated DHT Blockers. So it works on ALL AREAS of the scalp. HairGenesis™ can help stop hair loss and help regrow hair on the top / crown portion of the scalp PLUS the Front Receding Hair Line area AND the back areas of the scalp.


Norwood Pattern Hair Loss Diagram

Minoxidil is formulated to work only on the VERTEX areas of the scalp, not on the front hairline or back area of the scalp.

Have you tried hair loss treatment products which rely on the blood pressure drug Minoxidil and had little or no lasting results, little or no new hair re-growth in the front receding hairline or back areas of your scalp? Here's a possible reason why.

 Additional information about Rogaine™ (Rogain) and Minoxidil:

  • Unlike Rogaine™, Hair Genesis™ does not rely on Drugs such as Minoxidil, to stop hair loss or to help grow hair.

  • In pill form, Minoxidil has been widely prescribed for many years to treat high blood pressure. In hair loss treatment products, it basically works by dilating the blood vessels in the scalp.

  • Clinical studies on the drug Minoxidil show that it can cause various side effects, such as water retention, sudden weight gain, rapid heart beat, liver toxification and tissue damage.

  • According to the makers of Rogaine™, (active ingredient is Minoxidil), Minoxidil works only on what doctors call the VERTEX area (top middle area) of the scalp. (You may research this more on the rogaine.com web site. Click on "How Rogaine Works".)

    Thus it may not work effectively on the receding hair line area in the front. This is one area where most men first experience significant hair loss.

    Likewise, Minoxidil may not work effectively on the back area of your scalp. This is another place where most men first begin to notice significant hair loss.
